Sayre, Kansas State University Mary Bridget Kustusch, DePaul UniversityAbstractTo help foster the next generation of STEM education researchers, we have developed andconducted a two-part professional development model that combines intensive in-personworkshops with long-term remote activities. Participants include emerging researchers at allcareer stages, including undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, juniorfaculty, and more senior faculty considering a change in research focus. In this paper, we outlinetwo versions of the model: a distributed workshop where participants gather from all over theworld for two weeks in-person, then disperse

Since Fall 2016, in partnership with the College of Engineering and the LIFE team, Gemma designed and supported faculty development workshops in active learning pedagogies, provided regular consultations and also joined the UM team at Olin College’s 2017 Collaboratory Sum- mer Institute. Gemma is currently a post-graduate student in the MSc Digital Education program at the University of Edinburgh, challenging perspectives about education and technological change. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019Exploring Faculty Perceptions of
questions to veteran STRIDE fellows, includingtheir Director, about the success and challenges of leading such an initiative. The University ofMichigan STRIDE team also provided us with a wealth of best-practice literature to start ourown education process. Upon returning to UMBC, STRIDE immediately began holdingbiweekly meetings to familiarize ourselves with the literature and institutional context withinwhich we were operating. In these meetings, we discussed a plethora of best-practice literatureand Claude Steele’s Whistling Vivaldi [3], Daniel Kahneman’s Thinking, Fast and Slow [4], andMahzarin Banaji’s and Anthony Greenwald’s Blindspot: The Hidden Biases of Good People [5].STRIDE also reviewed numerous data reports generated from Interfolio’s

In academia,women in STEM account for less than 20 percent of qualified applicants [1], 31 percent of full-time faculty, and 27 percent of deans and department heads [2]. Women also comprise adisproportionately low number of full professorships in STEM, with women accounting for 42%of instructors and assistant professorships, 34% of associate professorships, and only
